Avoid Landing Page Redirects

Deprecated. This page was written for version 4 of the PageSpeed Insights API, which is
deprecated and will be shut down in May 2019. Version 5 is the latest and provides
both real-world data from the Chrome User Experience Report and lab data from Lighthouse.

This rule triggers when PageSpeed Insights detects that you have more than one redirect
from the given url to the final landing page.

Overview

Redirects trigger an additional HTTP request-response cycle and delay page rendering. In the best
case, each redirect will add a single roundtrip (HTTP request-response), and in the worst it may
result in multiple additional roundtrips to perform the DNS lookup, TCP handshake, and TLS
negotiation in addition to the additional HTTP request-response cycle. As a result, you should
minimize use of redirects to improve site performance.
